Windows 10: Registry key for current system date and time on Windows 10

Hi

Does anyone know what is the registry key for setting system date and time on Windows 10?

Windows 10 How to change “New Folder” default name for folders in explorer to current date and time?

Before you begin you must change the Windows System date format under Regional Settings in Control Panel. You cannot use / in the date format since this is an invalid character for folder names. Change the / to – in the date format. You cannot skip this step. Your date format must contain valid characters for folder names.

1. Go to registry editor using the regedit command.
   
2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell.
   
3. Make a new key New Folder.
   
4. Inside this key, create another key command.
   
5. Type the following value for the key inside it (edit the (Default) item's data): cmd.exe /c md "%1/%%DATE%%"
   
6. Save and exit Registry Editor.
   

Now, to create the folders, instead of clicking New > Folder, instead use the context item New Folder. This runs the command script defined in step 5, which creates a new folder with the current date.

You will now have a folder with default name as the current date instead of "New Folder".
